HEART RATE INCREASE WITH LOUD, SUDDEN, SURPRISE NOISES

[greg vess]

Over the last six or seven years I have developed a severe anxiety reaction to loud sudden unexpected noises. I mean my body goes into cringe mode when I get startled. It's not that I'm a coward because I don't run it's just that my body instinctively cringes and my anxiety levels raise enormously. Does else have this problem since you gotten old. When I was younger it didn't bother me I would just look over to see what the problem was. Now That I'm Older my body seems to react very differently than it did when I was young in several ways. Not as bad in other areas is in these loud noises that just provoke a sudden jerk and my heart rate increases dramatically. I swear one of these days is going to give me a heart attack. The other day I was going down the highway and I was right beside an 18-wheeler when he had a blowout. I like to s*** myself on it when that went off.

Nope, loud noises dont bother me at all ,unless its the F-ing dog barking at the Amazon delivery when I'm trying to nap.

Never used to but hearing my neighbor shoot cops in my front yard a few months ago gets me startled more than it used to. Hoping it’s resolved before fireworks season

I see by your avatar that you are a bulldog. I am a shiatzu and have the same problem. lots of dogs have this problem. July 4th is hell on me. I have to take medication to keep from having a heart attack.

Nope. Not since the Statute of Limitations has passed!

Isn't that just called adrenaline? I would think spontaneous loud noises would yield your listed symptoms in any animal

Had the same thing happen to me. High anxiety, sensitive to loud noises and high B/P.
It was one of the B/P meds I was on. Stopped that med and the issues went away. If your on any meds look up the side affects.

This is typical behavior in the 'hood. Loud booms generate a tensing and flight reaction. Every. Time.
